Nintendo, EA, and Sony Pull Support From SOPA

Things aren't looking too hot for SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act). While the bill garnered a lot of support from big name gaming companies at first, a lot of them are starting to change their tunes. Nintendo, EA, and Sony are some of the newest to revoke their names from a list of supporters of the controversial bill.

I love getting to see what the power of the Internet can really do when people put their minds to it. First with the whole Ocean Marketing exchange and the @$$-tearing that their company received because of it and now with these companies switching sides. While I would like to believe that someone just saw reason within these companies, I know that it had to be from the harsh backlash.

This is another strike for SOPA and I know I'm not alone in hoping that the trend continues.
